It's that time of year where networks start thinking about the new seasons coming in the fall and which shows will return. Most shows have an audience of some sort, but that does not mean they have enough of an audience to return. Those shows that could go either way are known as bubble shows.
A lot of my shows have already been renewed for another year or more...or already cancelled. But, out of the three listed above, which one do you see lasting? Why?

Chuck will probably last out of these three, which is sad because I feel two of the three would in normal conditions. The reason I think "Chuck" would survive is that there is enough of a way to make the show fresh each year. Admittedly they are going to have some issues long term because they are rushing some aspects (Chuck's love life, etc.) but the teasing of creating another Intersect and the possibility from the end bit of this past episode are at least welcoming. (Please note Derek, I know you like this show and this is NOT an assessment about you personally - I am referring to some comments I've read elsewhere online  ). "2.5 Men" I think would survive if it weren't for Sheen's whining about how he was "wronged" never mind it was his COLLEAGUES who were wronged. Seriously, his threats of suits to "help his colleagues" is a bunch of bunk - it's about him. The crew were being paid, and he flat out insulted one of his fellow actors simply because he wouldn't say that he supported Sheen (which I respect Jon for). Because of Sheen's antics, which people are following, I think that many will ignore "2.5 men" in an attempt to get Sheen reinstated on the show (never mind of course he insulted his fellow cast and the producer of the show  ). This I think is a shame because they could get an excellent replacement for Sheen's spot, but he will be seen as a scab or other person who isn't deserving. On a personal note, I know many actors have had drug/alcohol issues, got rehab and are now quite beloved by the populace. Three examples are Drew Barrymore, Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp. It's a struggle, but they got help. Not only has Sheen not gotten help, he's attacking his colleagues and the guy who signs his checks. How did he expect to get to stay? Again, never mind that Sheen insulted his boss, his co-workers, and put his fellow cast/crew out of work for eight weeks and almost out of their jobs entirely - people will think he did nothing wrong. ANd sadly that's why I think the show will ultimately be canceled by the end of next season. I personally think it's sad because I've always felt the stronger actors were Jon and Angus - and I enjoyed their scenes more. |

First, I am not sure why I would take any of the comments personally. Second, I have heard that TWO AND A HALF MEN is coming back in some form or another, but I am keeping it as a bubble show list for a third poll option. Had a lot to say on Sheen though didn't you?  Third, no comment on HUMAN TARGET? |

Nice, Miss D. I actually thought the entire cast worked well together. The one I hated the most is probably Judith. But with the addition of Ryan Stiles as her new husband, I can tolerate her. ;D Is no one a HUMAN TARGET fan? |

Worse decision ever, I'm hoping if HT survives into a 3rd year Mrs. Poochie is shipped off. 1st season I'd give 4 out of 5 stars. 2nd season would be 3 out of 5. |

Awesome, GG! ;D
I have to agree on HUMAN TARGET's first season being better than the second. Hopefully, it will come back and be just like the first season.
Which one do you think is most likely to be renewed, GG? ;D

Third, no comment on HUMAN TARGET? 1. I've been hypersensitive lately on people taking anything I say personally (and it's been benign, which REALLY irritates me). I apologize for being that way toward you.  2. Yes, I have a lot to say on Sheen - if I could make even $1 Million right now, even after taxes I could live comfortably for at least 10 years. He seriously has his priorities wrong, and given that people support his antics (present company excluded of course ), I just go on a tear. 3. Never have seen Human Target honestly, so I can't comment on it. Given that I usually try a show at least once, that doesn't bode well with its chances then because I haven't been able to find it. Will say at least it's been given a chance compared to several pretty decent shows. |

No. She is a rich billionaire. Sarcasm. I won't say more until I see if Greenguy catches the joke. |
